#116 - Sales (Part 2)

Actually, it's no wonder Liu Zihao's father was so shocked.

The sales figures were truly terrifying, making it hard to believe. He had never seen such terrifying sales since entering the industry.

It could be said that in the entire history of the automotive industry, no model had ever achieved such terrifying results.

And this was only in two hours! Even if these one thousand six hundred sales were evenly distributed among twenty car dealerships, each store would have to sell eighty cars.

Even the best-selling models might not reach that sales volume of eighty cars a day in a single dealership, unless it was at a car show.

Averaging it out, each store would have to sell a car in less than two minutes. How unbelievable is that?

Of course, he still believed it in his heart. He knew Liu Zihao relatively well. If it were fake, he wouldn't have been so eager to call him and brag.

It was just that such exaggerated sales figures made it difficult for him to react for a moment.

...

Hearing his father's surprised and doubtful voice, Liu Zihao became even more smug. It was the first time he had heard his father's voice so out of control. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could imagine that his father was definitely doubting his life right now.

Liu Zihao subconsciously thought smugly: "It's not easy. My father scolds me every day, always saying I'm good for nothing. That's just because I haven't gotten serious yet. Once I get serious, even I find myself scary."

"My son's first serious project was so successful. It's much better than you were back then."

"Maybe now I can stand up straight in front of him and say that I'm not good for nothing, but just haven't gotten serious yet."

...

Just as Liu Zihao's father was doubting his life, he heard Liu Zihao's annoying voice:

"Dad, how is it? Unexpected? Surprising?"

"But don't be too surprised. Isn't it just one thousand six hundred orders in two hours? No big deal!"

"It's just a piece of cake for your son. You thought it was impossible, but I did it."

"This is called surpassing the master. The waves behind drive the waves ahead, and the waves ahead die on the beach, haha!"

Hearing these words, Liu Zihao's father finally came back to his senses and said angrily, "You brat, what are you so smug about? What if it's one thousand six hundred cars? It's not your credit."

"How much do you weigh? Your father knows it all. It's because Audi's product is good."

"The product is loved by consumers. If you changed it to another car brand, try it and see how many cars you can sell. You're still showing off."

"Dad, how is it not my credit? Don't forget, if I hadn't argued strongly, you would have only wanted to represent one store to test the waters. If it weren't for me, you'd probably be regretting it now."

"Aren't these all my contributions?" Liu Zihao said unhappily.

Hearing this, Liu Zihao's father's face turned red. Although he didn't want to show weakness in front of his son, it was indeed the case. He had strongly opposed it before, but was later persuaded by Liu Zihao.

Now that he thought about it, if he had missed it at the beginning, he would definitely regret it now. He wouldn't mind representing even a hundred of such popular brands. Of course, he could only think about it in his heart. He didn't have that capital.

However, he wouldn't admit these words, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Ahem, I was just testing you at the beginning. You actually took it seriously."

"Don't you think about whose sub-brand Audi is? Their technical strength is so strong that it's difficult not to be favored by the market."

"Also, don't forget to thank President Lu. If he hadn't given you this opportunity, you wouldn't be able to show off here."

"I'll transfer five million to you later. Go buy a gift for President Lu to express your gratitude."

Liu Zihao's father was indeed cunning enough. In name, it was to express gratitude, but in reality, it was to let his son befriend Lu Haifeng. Having been in the business world for most of his life, how could he not know that as long as he firmly held onto the thigh of Huaxing Technology, as long as he could maintain it well, there would be no worries about future development opportunities.

Hearing this, Liu Zihao also said with a hippie smile, "Dad, I've never seen you so generous before. It's rare!"

"There's no need for you to tell me about thanking Brother Feng."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to report the good news to Brother Feng." After speaking, Liu Zihao decisively hung up the phone.

Listening to the dial tone on the phone, Liu Zihao's father also smiled with relief. He was naturally very happy about Audi A4's excellent sales.

But at the same time, what made him most happy in his heart was that his son had grown up, become sensible, and made friends with a rising star in technology like Lu Haifeng. This was what made him most happy in his heart.

...

After Liu Zihao hung up the phone, he immediately called Lu Haifeng. As soon as the call was connected, he couldn't wait to ask with an annoying expression, "Brother Feng, Brother Feng, guess how many orders we've received so far today?"

Hearing this, Lu Haifeng on the other end of the phone shook his head and said, "It should be around one thousand five or six hundred."

Hearing this, Liu Zihao asked with a surprised expression, "Wow, Brother Feng, you're really amazing. You're a prophet!"

How could he be a prophet? He had already seen the orders sent by the self-operated stores. Basically, each store had at least fifty cars, and the most had almost reached more than one hundred cars.

Calculating it this way, Liu Zihao had twenty Audi car dealerships, and each store would have an average of seventy or eighty cars, totaling about one thousand five or six hundred.

He was also very surprised when Zhao Jianhua came over to report with the order just now, but he was already immune to it.

It can only be said that Liu Zihao's call came too late. He was destined not to hear Lu Haifeng's surprised voice.

Then, Liu Zihao's talkative disease relapsed: "I wanted to give Brother Feng a surprise, but I didn't expect you to guess it right away."

"Brother Feng, can't you cooperate with me a little and deliberately say less?"

"Brother Feng, the Audi A4 is really too popular!"

"I've never seen selling cars as easy as selling vegetables in a vegetable market. Customers come in and place orders without even looking at the car."

"Our family has been a car dealer for so many years, and I've never seen such straightforward customers."

"Today is the opening of the Audi car dealership, and I feel like everyone who comes in to spend money is a tycoon."

Hearing this, Lu Haifeng couldn't help but interject, "You talk as if you're not a tycoon?"

"A second-generation rich with over ten billion in assets, and you still haggle over a few thousand dollars worth of things."

Liu Zihao immediately retorted, "Uh, Brother Feng, that's different."

"Besides, when did I not haggle?"

"Haggling is a pleasure. It doesn't matter how much money you have. Not haggling means you're stupid and have too much money."
